Who's Judging Who Now

Just read a news article about former Judge Donald D. Thompson, a veteran of 23 years on the bench, is on trial on charges he used a penis pump on himself in the courtroom while sitting in judgment of others. To make an embarrassing situation worse the white-handled sexual device sits before the jury box for hours at a time. Occasionally an attorney picks it up and squeezes the handle, demonstrating the "sh-sh" sound of air rushing through the contraption's plastic tubing. I know that if I was a jury I would bust out laughing every time I heard a shhhhhhhhhhhh.

Thompson took the stand in his own defense, saying the device was a gag gift from a longtime friend with whom he had joked about erectile dysfunction. He said he kept the pump under the bench or in his office but didn't use it. All I can say is ssssssssssuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeeeee..
